Victory in the battles against the Sewer Rat Gang

Today, was an excellent day for dealing with the terrorist group known as the Sewer Rat Gang.  The short-term salutation was always hiring adventurer to venture down there and kill any number of them they could and who among us has not done that?  But those were always temporary solutions.  

Under the guidance of Sewermaster Vastano, the sewers were sealed and the flooded in order to deal with the rank and file of the gang members.  Numerous concerns were raised about the farms and other areas; however, the sewers are designed to deal with this process (which is why it occurred so quickly) and the grey water was diverted into the runoff area as per normal procedures.

The Sewermaster reported that countless gang members have lost their lives and they will be cleaning it up in the meantime with the help of the Eyes.  It is possible some other were caught as collateral damage, but one must wonder why they would choose to live in the sewers over the Almshouse.  Logic dictates that it is due to their criminal nature, even if they were not in the gang proper.

And let us be honest, how many of us saw huddled masses down there when we made our trips?  Vagrants and Lunatics, from what I recall.  An unfortunate result, but the ending is that the good, tax paying citizens of Cordor have less to fear today.   That said, the danger is not over.  The few most senior members will still exisit but their efforts will now have to concentrate on the Magocracy proper rather than Cordor's more defenseless citizens.

Today, Cordor owes a debt of gratitude to Sewermaster Vastano and Minster Peram Flint, for both their quick action and stalwartness in the face of adversary from the loudest of the adventuring population who seem to have forgotten when they used to work for the writ master.  I will personally see to the Sewermaster getting a few days off and hand him a tidy bonus of gold.  

Cordor Prevails.  Eye open.
